**The Role and Opportunity**

At AgResearch, we use science to enhance the value, productivity, and profitability of New Zealand’s pastoral, agri-food, and agri-technology sector. Our research contributes to economic growth and beneficial environmental and social outcomes for Aoteaora New Zealand. We develop future-focused solutions generated from both mātauranga Māori and science and we recognise and value the knowledge Māori bring to research collaborations.

We have a 12month fixed term vacancy for an experienced administrator based at our Grasslands Campus, in Palmerston North.

You will be responsible for coordinating and delivering a full range of administrative and support functions to science teams. This is an exciting opportunity for a seasoned Administrator that has an interest in Science & Agriculture to join our innovative organisation.

- Assist with contracting processes.
- Book and coordinate travel for the team.
- Organise meetings and workshops as requested, taking minutes/notes/action lists.
- Coordinate and arrange events.

**Your ideal background**

Your "can do" attitude, tenacity and ability to multi-task coupled with great interpersonal skills and attention to detail will ensure you succeed in this role. As a highly organised person you are customer centric, practical, logical and thrive on the challenge of working in a busy and varied position. We are also looking for:

- National Certificate in Business Administration (level 4) or equivalent experience
- Experience in a similar position providing support to a group of employees at varying levels.
- Knowledge in Microsoft Office Suite
- Excellent communication skills
- A high level of confidentiality when managing sensitive information
